The England Netball Premier League is a netball league in England and the highest level of club/amateur netball in the country. The teams that make up the three divisions have come through the county, regional and national pathway to take one of the 30 places.
The league was founded at the start of the 2006/07 season, as a replacement for the National Clubs League. It is the second level of play in the sport in England, below the closed Netball Super League.
Competition Format Each league comprises 10 teams who play each other twice in a home and away fixture. 5 points are award for a win, 3 for a draw, 2 for a loss within 5 goals, 1 for a loss if more than 50% of the winners score and 0 for any other loss. The team who finishes top of the each league table are named champions.
Each season, the top two teams in Premier League 2 and 3 are promoted to the division above, and the bottom two teams in Premier League 1 and 2 are relegated. In Premier League 3 the bottom 3 teams (8th, 9th and 10th) take part in the Premier League Play-Offs alongside the 9 regional league winners to decide who will compete in Premier League 3 the following season.
The league started with two divisions but expanded to 3 divisions for the 2010/2011 season, each with ten teams.
